Luis Suarez

[Monster Masch]

Ben Smith among other journalists on twitter reckon we have made an enquiry for Suarez this evening.

 

Talented and mental. Yes please. A proper South American footballer. Reminds me a bit of Tevez in his play.

@elninorules Starting to look like LFC could be about to step up interest in Suarez.

[Funkasy]

Why tell the world that we are after him ? will that not push the price up ?

Dont think he is that much in demand.

 

He would improve LFC but probably not the top 5

[Gym Beglin]

Jesus, so Henry is in town and then the media think it's about time to step up the Suarez story.

We're not getting the lad, I may as well start a thread up about us bidding for Lionel Messi, it's about as likely.

wasnt he linked with Scum for 40million in the summer?

 

brilliant what biting someone and a handball can do to your price in 6 months

[Wor Horse]

He's fucking boss.

 

I want him. I want him now.

[StevieH]

Suarez would be a very good foil for Torres who is far too isolated playing up front on his own.

I never understood this reasoning. The selling club (who set the price) are going to know we are interested regardless, right? It's not like we sneak up on the other club and steal him away at night and then pay a nominal amount after we have kidnapped him.

 

Thinking logically, if two rival clubs are serious in bidding for the same player, then they will be aware of competing offers, because the selling club will inform them. The information going public does nothing to change this. In fact, going public could be beneficial in that it will scare away clubs who aren't prepared to compete with us right at the start, and thus free up negotiations.

[The Dude Abides]

Not convinced. Just feel that he;'s been talked about for so long as a potential signing for various top clubs around Europe, yet no-one has made that push to get him.

 

Do think he's a bona fide natural goalscorer at the very least though so he'll definitely improve the squad. Just not sure how he'll adapt to the English game and where he fits in with Torres being the focal point of our attack.

 

Not that its going to happen anyway.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Giuseppe Rossi > Luis Suarez.

[CWD82]

Suarez would be a very good foil for Torres who is far too isolated playing up front on his own.

 

Or he would be equally effective outside either left or right Stevie.

 

I can see Kenny sticking with 4141 till the end of the season purely because our centre midfield is quite unbalanced when Gerrard plays in there. I think we need someone really top class defensively who is mobile aswell (like a de Jong or Mascherano) to get the best out of Gerrard in a 4 man midfield. Lucas and Meireles on their own don't compliment Gerrard at all.

 

Longer term though with the right players on place Torres and Suarez could be lethal

[Monster Masch]

Make of that what you will.

 

 

This lad on twitter reckons Babel private messages him here and there.

 

It says ''Goodbye! I'm going to Ajax. Suarez to Liverpool.''

[Gym Beglin]

Agree, if we get him then I'm asking why United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Barca, Madrid, Bayern, Inter, AC et al weren't also at the races for him.

The phrase 'screw loose' comes to mind, he's got a bit of colourful history with regards to suspensions and cards picked up. Not sure how he'd like to be followed around the pitch by Karl Henry for 90 minutes, liable to explode.

[diving headers]

if we can offload babel as part exchange then i think thats a good move. babel may do well over there. suarez may offer more to us

[NIred1]

The great thing about Suarez is he can play different positions and be top class in all of them. He could easily play any of a three behind Torres. He could also play up top, a really really good signing if it happens.

Goalie being one of 'em.

Versatile forward from the Dutch league......

 

Now, when did we last sign a player, sorry, a couple of players like that?

same happened with Torres

Most of them weren't after Torres or Alonso or Mascherano. The Mancs had shown interest in the first two, but never thought it worth following up.

[JohnnyH]

Jesus, if the Mancs or Arsenal haven't been in for him, doesn't mean we shouldn't.

OK. Be negative if you want but for me this type of signing shows real intent and I'd be delighted.

[Durango]

I'd rather have a go at Benzema of Madrid,depending on money

With his vastly inferior scoring record? I know the Dutch league isn't the strongest, but there's a huge discrepancy between the two players.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I'm not being negative. Just think there's a fair few players out there who'd be a better option up front then Suarez.

 

As above, Giuseppe Rossi would be good. As would Llorente from Bilbao. Benzema is a decent shout too.
